CRIMINAL LAWYERS.


How Many of Them Aid in Undermining
the Social Fabric.
OF course every accused man is en-
titled to fair trial, but it is undoubtedly
the case that many well-meaning men,
to say nothing of some of different
sort, go much further than they have
any shadow of moral right to do in
helping by various legal devices to
shield from punishment men who are
known to them to have committed
heinous crimes. If all lawyers had the
conscientioIsness of Abraham Lincoln
in his law practice, they would tako a
different course. Rev. Madison C.
Peters of Philadelphia, gives in one of
his sermons his own views on the sub
ject as follows:
Criminal lawyers are in large meas
ure to blame for the large number of
crimes and criminals When q man
has committed crime, he weighs his
chances to escape punishment by the
amount of money he is able to pay a
lawyer for his defense. SO much money
will secure such lawyer. whose very
name carries power with it to so influ-
ence jury as to secure acquittal. or n
disagreement, which is about equal to
an acquittal. Now would not deny the
worst criminal the right to defense;
but when crime has been commit
ted that shocks the moral sense OF, even
irreligious people, and when there is no
doubt MS to the mans guilt, then, when
in answer to q call for money lawyer
lends his name, his influence. his elo-
quence, his wit and his wisdom in de-
Tense of that criminal, and when. by in
genuities, by unwarranted exceptions,
by packing" the Jury, SO as to be able
to tell beforehand what the verdict will
be, and by perversion of law, secures
the acquittal of the criminal. or has
awarded him ridiculously inadequate
sentence, then say such a lawyer--no
matter what his social standing, what his
qualifications-such lawyer becomes
the accomplice of criminals. He helps
to undermine our social fabric. and dis
graces an honorable profession. - Con-
gregdtionalist.

SMART YOUNG WOMAN.
How She Subdued a Dainty Youth With
 Mashing Propensities.


 A young lady of Rome was on train returning from Utica the other day Across the aisle from her sat young man-one of the 'rm-a-dandy-but-I'm m no-duden kind-whose home is in Utica. He undertook to get up ilirt- ation with the young lady. After og- ling her awhile, he succeeded in catch ing her eye. She smiled one of those "Oh-you-poor-fool" kind of smiles that are not reassuring to the person upon whom they are bestowed. While he was debating in his mind as to whether he had better undertake to carry his mashing scheme any further, the news agent dropped book into his seat. He picked it up, hid his face behind it a moment, and then tossed it across into the young lady's seat. She opened it and appeared to be deeply interested at once. The news agent returned to gather up his books and stopped in front of the Utiean with an inquiring look. The young lady paid no atten- ton to any thing outside the pages ot the DOCK. lnc WDulu-Dc lidohti Htsi- tated, hoping the young lady would look up and take in the situation. Bui she seemed to be oblivious to surround. ings. The only thing that interested her was the book. The Utican did moi have the nerve to ask the young lady for the volume nor to call the atten- ton of the news-agent to the fact thai she had it, for the agent evidently thought that the young man had given it to her. It finally dawned on the young man that the most graceful way out of the trouble was to pay for the book, SO he went down in his pocket and produced the required price, Dur ing the remainder of the ride to Rome he remained in gloomy meditation, while the young lady continued her readingwith standardization. When the young lady left the car the cute young man never looked up.-Fongh- keepSie NeloS-Letter.

 The Hearth's Temple.
BY REyERLYL. CLARK.

BY BEVERLY L. CLARK. Is there no place where souls may cease their longing? No peaceful place of hope-fulfilled repose? No happy place where fiowerets bloom unfading, And wearied hearts no carking sor- row knows? We may not care, though life's short dream be fading. And troubles angry pillows round us roar; If our hearts possess pure love and hope of heaven, And angels beckon US to Eden's crys- tai door. That heauteous Eden in the hearts fair Temple, Where it may fly from sorrow and despair; And no harsh sound of lfe's annoying rabble Disturbs the peace that dwellctn ever there. No ruder sound than -ippling fountains murmur, Whose waters lave the fadeless As phOuel, Distarbs this sacred realm Of Christian prayer Which Faith hath made the true hearts citadel. When winds are raging OCT the upper ocean, And pillows wild contend with angry roar; 'Iis said. far down beneath the wild commolion, Sweet, peaceful stiffness, reigneth eyermore. Far, far beneath the noise of tempest dying, The silver waves chime ever peace fully; And no rude storm, how fierce so CT 'tis flying, Disturbs the eternal Sabbath of that deeper seal So, to the heart that has pure love and hope of heaven, There is TEMPLE, sacred evermore; And all babble of life's angry voices, Dies in hushed stilluess, Ut it peace- ful door.

SUICIDE OF ANIMALS.

 by "a Noted Sayant.
 l am disinclined to believe in delib- crate intention of suicide in so-called animals for one reason among others, because I think if they were capable of entertaining the idea they would take advantage of it so often, to be rid of the miseries the human ami mal inflicts on them, that the present doubt would not exist. Would not half the cab-horses crawl into the Thames, and would not high-spirited mongrels devise means of being beforehand with the polieeman's truncheonp Neverthe- less, l have just been eredibly informed of an authentic instance. gentleman with whom had slight acquaintance, residing not many doors from me, went last winter to the south of France on q visit to relations. He was out of health, certainly, but it was quite expected that the change of climate would re- store him. His faithful dogN did not "bear him company but remained with his wife and friends. The hopes of his recovery proved fallacious, and when the news of his death came it was an unexpected grief. The dog seemed fully to understand the nature of the bereavement, and shared the grief of the family to such an over whelming extent that one day it went to an upper window and jumped out, killing itself in very distressing way. l may add the dog was small terrier. --R fl, B'tsk, i9a Notes and Queries,
